Cannabis systems & technical operations

Cannabis operations are complex enough. Your systems should make them easier.

I help cultivators, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and multi-entity operators connect the technology, data, controls, and workflows required to run with less friction.

The operating reality

Every improvement has to survive regulation, physical operations, and thin margins.

Cannabis systems cannot be designed as if compliance, inventory, facilities, and workforce realities are separate concerns. They collide in the same workflow.

01

Compliance lives across systems.

State traceability, ERP, sales, production, laboratory, and finance records rarely agree without deliberate controls and reconciliation.

02

Inventory truth breaks at handoffs.

Cultivation, manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and retail each create transfers, conversions, labels, and exceptions that must remain auditable.

03

Physical security is operating infrastructure.

Cameras, retention, networks, access control, devices, scales, and facilities technology have to work continuously—not just pass a checklist.

04

Excess software consumes margin.

Duplicative platforms and manual workarounds become especially expensive when operators are already managing price compression and regulatory overhead.

Relevant experience

I have owned the connective tissue between cannabis operations and technology.

My scope has included business systems, data, infrastructure, physical security, access, vendors, governance, and the frontline work required to make changes stick across active facilities.

Systems in context

The platform list matters less than knowing where each platform stops.

I map the real operating flow across applications, data, people, devices, and regulated records so that no vendor’s software is mistaken for the whole business.

How I help

Fix the system around the constraint.

Assess

Cannabis systems audit

Map workflows, systems of record, access, compliance dependencies, data gaps, vendor cost, and operational risk.

Control

Inventory & traceability reconciliation

Build repeatable checks between regulated records and the operational systems teams actually use.

Connect

Data, reporting & integrations

Unify fragmented data and automate recurring reporting, reconciliation, and decision visibility.

Implement

ERP & workflow design

Translate cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, retail, and finance realities into usable configurations and controls.

Protect

Infrastructure & security

Strengthen identity, networks, devices, cameras, access control, retention planning, and site continuity.

Lead

Fractional technology operations

Provide practical cross-functional leadership without forcing the cost or structure of a full executive technology team.

Start with the real problem

Bring me the workflow that keeps breaking.

You do not need a finished scope. Describe the operational friction, compliance risk, blind spot, or technology cost you need to get under control.
